I remember I needed something like those documents Ross mentioned to renew my NJ driver's license a few years ago (because NJ intend(ed) to have a NJ DL comply with standards for a national ID). To vote, I walk or bicycle over and identify my listing in the book of registered voters (no, that is my wife, and that is my daughter), then sign 2 or 3 times. At least one of the people manning the polling place usually recognizes me. Note that now the US is the only country where you can walk on the street and not have to be able to prove your identity to an agent of the authorities, unless there is reasonable suspicion you have done something unlawful. Until a few years ago that could be said of the Netherlands as well, but they complied with EU regulations, and now you have to have identity papers on you. Not sure what exactly is required over there as a minimum. -- Best regards Han email address is invalid |

Visiting since then quite often, but no need for new Dutch papers anymore. It doesn't answer your question, but at 16 you'd need papers to ride a moped, and at 18 to drive a car or motorcycle. -- Best regards Han email address is invalid |

It would make more sense to require an EKG upon renewal. NY just did away with the vision test upon renewal last year. Now we can renew by mail or online every 6 years. The photo on the license is also a joke. I haven't a new photo taken since 1998 when I was 60 YOA. I don't even recognize myself in the photo. :-) -- Bill In Hamptonburgh, NY In the original Orange County. Est. 1683 To email, remove the double zeros after @ |
